The opening of San Antonio's impressive River Walk brought with it a renewed appreciation of the city's art scene, thanks in part to its newest extension which leads river-walkers straight to the San Antonio Museum of Art. The Museum features a rotating list of eye-pleasing exhibits, from ancient Egyptian treasures to the trippy art of the 1960's. Also inside the city limits is the McNay Art Museum, showcasing Post-impressionist, early 20th century European and American and Medieval art. Modern art more your style? The Blue Star Arts Complex is the heart of San Antonio's contemporary art scene, complete with galleries and artists lofts and warehouses.
